    There are a ton of interesting sports video games that never saw the light of day, from NFL games meant to compete with Madden that actually looked promising, to a successor to NCAA 14, to the infamous NBA Elite 11, to some other games you probably never heard of. It's quite the experience to look back at these unreleased games, and it's actually quite suprising to see just how much information you can dig up on these games.

    The NFL exclusive for the Gamecube sounds like it would've been a blast to play and the same goes for the baseball game with all those creative stadiums. I also remember the Arena Football game that was planned for the Atari Jaguar, but considering the Jaguar's controller has 15 buttons it was probably for the best that the game never got released.

    If you ever need a video idea, you could always do the third competitor that nobody talks about in the short lived Madden vs 2k era is 989 sports and their NFL Game day series. Gameplay. I remember in the game they'd had players trash talk and actually swear while you could cheap shot players after the play.
